Similarly, a k-isohedral tiling has k separate symmetry orbits (it may contain m different face shapes, for m = k, or only for some m < k). [ 6 ] ("1-isohedral" is the same as "isohedral".) A monohedral polyhedron or monohedral tiling ( m = 1) has congruent faces, either directly or reflectively, which occur in one or more symmetry positions.
Convex regular icosahedron A tensegrity icosahedron. In geometry, an icosahedron (/ ˌ aɪ k ɒ s ə ˈ h iː d r ən,-k ə-,-k oʊ-/ or / aɪ ˌ k ɒ s ə ˈ h iː d r ən / [1]) is a polyhedron with 20 faces.
(Definition varies among authors; e.g. some exclude solids with dihedral symmetry, or nonconvex solids.) Uniform if every face is a regular polygon, i.e. it is regular, quasiregular or semi-regular. Semi-uniform if its elements are also isogonal. Scaliform if all the edges are the same length. Noble if it is also isohedral (face-transitive).
Apart from the two infinite series of prismatic and antiprismatic symmetry, rotational icosahedral symmetry or chiral icosahedral symmetry of chiral objects and full icosahedral symmetry or achiral icosahedral symmetry are the discrete point symmetries (or equivalently, symmetries on the sphere) with the largest symmetry groups.
The truncated icosahedron is an Archimedean solid, meaning it is a highly symmetric and semi-regular polyhedron, and two or more different regular polygonal faces meet in a vertex. [5] It has the same symmetry as the regular icosahedron, the icosahedral symmetry , and it also has the property of vertex-transitivity .
The dual of a non-convex polyhedron is also a non-convex polyhedron. [2] ( By contraposition.) There are ten non-convex isotoxal polyhedra based on the quasiregular octahedron, cuboctahedron, and icosidodecahedron: the five (quasiregular) hemipolyhedra based on the quasiregular octahedron, cuboctahedron, and icosidodecahedron, and their five (infinite) duals:
Meaning: If you aren't weighing yourself at a consistent time each day, expect to see different numbers on the scale. Eating or drinking anything adds weight, even the healthy stuff.
